[Albion] The annual loyalty points decimation

[Goldstone1976]

Finished last season on 168, I now have 159. I really don't get the points thing. Some people get absolutely hammered while others keep the majority of points

Assuming you’re a STH, it’s most likely to do with the length of time you’ve continuously held the ST, combined with the relatively few away league/home cup games you’ve attended. ie the increase in LP from holding the ST for another season is only a little less than the halving of LP awarded for attending games.

The rules on the website are pretty good at explaining what’s going on - for the last several seasons I’ve been able to easily calculate what my opening balance should be, and it always has been.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

The system does work well once you have read the notes and apply them. From last year’s end total subtract the season ticket points you got last year, then halve it, then add on this year’s ST points.
Mine worked out exactly as predicted

Although I've been going to games for 30+ years I've only been an ST for 3 years so it makes sense what you've said, only a couple of away games last season and only home cup games.
Thanks for the info.

….except that’s a completely different scenario to the one you’re replying to

It's the same. Going from MA+ to STH and losing pretty much all your points.

It’s not. MA+ to ST is moving up the priority rank, so your MA+ points are irrelevant once you get your ST.

For a ST holder :

Last season total points
Minus the ST points awarded start of the previous season
Divide that number by 2
Add on the points for how many years you've had an ST
Round down if you have half a point.

You don't need to be Pythagoras to work it out. You don't even need a maths GCSE.

And 1 ST point is still worth more than 10 Billion, zillion member points.

….and yet loads on here STILL don’t understand

How do you figure that?

Because when I gave up my season ticket - covid season - I went down to about 26 points the following season and now three seasons of renewals later and only attending 2/3 games a season I am climbing the ladder. Next season as my 4th consecutive of Myalbion+ will see me even higher. Plus I hope to attend more games this year and will go out of my way to pick up higher points bracket away games - Prem if they get to my level, or cup games.

I knew I wouldn't be able to commit to a season ticket for a while and accepted my fate. Paying £35 for the privilege a season to access the benefit was a simple compromise I was willing to make.

But yes I accept I am below the pecking order for STH at all times. But still.

It's not rocket science.

No need to be rude.

How many games went to tiered MA+ last season?

All barring the London aways, Luton, Ajax and Athens.

Don’t think so……..didn’t most simply have ‘All MA+’ as a tier ?
Liverpool for example :

Having been a MA+ member last season, I believe it was only the Man Utd home game that had tiers for members. Perhaps also Roma away?
